Chapter 183: Isolated island

They drove from the TV station, and on the sixth day they encountered heavy rain blocking the road. The wheel sank in the mud and stalled. The people in the car had to put on a raincoat and get off the cart.
Several people worked together and finally failed to push the car out of the pit. Fortunately, they met a few soldiers who were wearing camouflage uniforms and went to the front for disaster relief. With the help of the soldiers, the big guy removed the puddle.
Lao Bao and others are very grateful to the soldiers for their help and want to disperse cigarettes for each comrade. The soldiers waved their hands and said, "Thank you, thank you, we don't smoke."
"Where are you going to rescue?" Ji Kun asked.
A soldier with a northern accent said: "Go to Liushuwan. It is said that there is a village over there that is submerged and you have to rush to save people."
Ji Kun asked Lao Bao what he meant: "Why don't we go to Willow Bay with us?"
Lao Bao is the oldest, everyone listens to his arrangements, and Li Wei has no objection.
So he decided to drive to Willow Bay with the soldiers.
The heavy rain turned into moderate rain, then turned into light rain, and the rain has never stopped.
I'm afraid that the car will break down, so I walk slowly all the way.
Ji Kun cared about Li Wei in the car, "Are you afraid?"
Li Wei said, "I have nothing to fear with you. I just learned to swim in college. If I accidentally fall into the water, I can swim ashore."
This made the other three people amused. They all thought that they had never seen danger at a young age, and they might cry when they were in danger.
The car drove for a day and a night before reaching the willow bay that the soldiers said. It was hit by heavy rain, and the electricity had been cut off. The surrounding area was completely dark, except for the sound of rain.
Old Bao said: "Why don't we take a rest in the car for one night, and then go into the village to shoot tomorrow morning. It's so dark, there is water everywhere, and the road is unfamiliar, what if we fall into the water?"
Everyone obeyed the arrangement of the old bag. Li Wei flashed a flashlight, turned out a thin blanket in his bag, and covered him, preparing to sleep in position.
The space is so small that it is impossible to stretch the limbs at all, and the conditions are limited and only persistence. Li Wei leaned against the car window and closed his eyes. The sound of the rain was still clear. I only hope that tomorrow's interview shooting will go smoothly.
Li Wei didn't sleep deeply, sometimes awake, sometimes confused, she woke up before dawn the next day, and the other people in the car were still asleep. She looked at the time and it was only half past five, so she closed her eyes and rested for a while, until someone called her.
"Li Wei, we should go now."
Only then did Li Wei rub his eyes, and the sky was light. She carried her bag, took on the raincoat, gnawed a few bites of bread from the old bag, hurriedly got out of the car, and began to perform the task of the day.
Putting on rain boots, we walked a lot of bumpy mud with Lao Bao and Ji Kun.
This is a mountainous area, and silt and rolling rocks can be seen everywhere on the road. The sky was still raining lightly, and it didn't take long for the legs of the pants to be covered with mud. The road surface is very soft and slippery after being soaked by rain, and it may fall or roll down the hill if you are not careful.
Ji Kun reached for a branch, slammed off a branch, and handed the thick and long part to Li Wei so that Li Wei could use it as a walking stick.
Li Wei thanked him, and the three of them supported each other all the way and continued to move forward into Willow Bay. This part of the road is the longest and most arduous part of Li Wei's life.
They climbed up a hillside and looked down. There should be a village below, but there was already a vast ocean, and a few houses could be seen vaguely at the foot of the mountain. The road to the outside world has been blocked, and an island has really formed.
"How should we enter the village?" Li Wei was a little dazed.
Ji Kun said: "I saw a soldier driving by in an assault boat. Let's ask if we can carry one by the way. If we can't get in, we won't be able to interview."
The three supported them all the way down the mountain, just in time for a few soldiers to drive the assault boat to the other side, and Old Bao went forward and circled.
The soldiers originally didn't agree with them to go in. After all, there were many dangers inside, but I heard that it was a TV station who came to interview and broadcast the disaster, and because there were not many people, they agreed.
They boarded the rubber boat and headed to the disaster-stricken village. Lao Bao was carrying the camera and was shooting real-time scenes, and Ji Kun began interviewing several soldiers who had gone to rescue them.
The soldiers looked very young, and some were shy when facing the camera. There was one who was obviously not small, but had a baby face. He was estimated to be less than twenty years old. He was a recruit who had just joined the army.
For these rescue fighters, Li Wei admired in his heart.
The assault boat fell and soon entered the disaster-stricken village.
The disaster situation in the village is worse than expected. Many houses have been flooded. A few families climbed on the roof and sat waiting for rescue.
Li Wei moves with the rescued soldiers. When the soldiers were saving a woman, she would hold the baby who was still in her infant for a while.
Over there, Ji Kun was busy interviewing a villager whose house was destroyed and his family was washed away crying sadly. Ji Kun later dragged the villagers to find soldiers to help find family members.
There are 300 households in this village, so it can be regarded as a big village. In the past few years, young people have gone out to work one after another, leaving some old, weak, sick and disabled to guard their homes. Now the home is destroyed, but the old farmers still refuse to leave by boat.
Li Wei had to go down and help persuade.
"Uncle, it won't work if you don't leave. It's useless for you to stay here. Another flood will wash you away, so hurry up and get on the boat. Wait until the flood recedes and come back. You can rebuild your home if you are gone , Life has to go on. People still have a long life."
The simple old farmer is distressed about the thousands of catties buried in the ruins and the two big fat pigs he fed. This is the family's biggest asset. Without the food, what to eat and use.
Everyone organized a batch of disaster-stricken people to evacuate to a safe place. In the afternoon, the rain finally stopped. The sun showed a smile, and the heat steamed up, making it even more muggy.
There is a bottle of mineral water in Li Wei's bag. She has given it to a woman who is still breastfeeding, and still begs a few sips from a soldier's kettle. At noon, I ate half of the bread, helped to move things, and ran up and down. At the moment, I was tired and hungry. The villagers have not yet completely transferred, and it will be dark in a short time.
Li Wei dragged his exhausted body to move on. The clothes were soaked in yellow cement, they were almost out of sight. This is the hardest job for her.
Everyone worked together and finally moved away the last batch of victims. Everyone was extremely tired and had no energy. Li Wei felt that the whole person was floating. She worked hard to support under a big tree with her back leaning on the trunk. She planned to spend one night and leave the village tomorrow.
